Cel

Superior corrosion, welding and forming properties have been documented for Zn-X alloys prepared from diffusion coupling. A vast range of surface phases and structures may be prepared using these techniques with the promise of new and unprecedented applications.

This project seeks to clarify the relationship between the improved cosmetic and perforation corrosion resistance and the nature of the alloy and surface composition and structure. Particular emphasis will be placed on the choice of X (for Mg, Ti, Cr, Fe, Mn) and the nature and depth distribution of the resulting oxide layers. Specific guidelines for directed product engineering will be given.
